Daily Note

Today we will continue learning about computational thinking: the core of learning to program: 

Decomposition: in groups you will work through these 3 systems

Pattern Recognition: in small groups you will work through these 3 systems

Abstraction: In groups, you will work through these 3 systems

Algorithmic design: in groups, you will work through these 3 systems (we will get into flow charts a bit

We will also learn about programming languages, specifically, introduction to programming languages and Visual Studio Code

 

Statement of Inquiry

The big idea for today is Course orientation.

The essential questions for this topic are:

What do I need to know, understand and do to be prepared for this class?

It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
